Thorium-based Nuclear Energy Production:
India’s largest power generator, National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited has signed a strategic pact with US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to explore development and deployment of advanced nuclear energy for enriched life (ANEEL), thorium-based fuel.Developed by CCTE, Aneel is a thorium-based fuel for pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWRs).The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) plans to utilize India’s abundant thorium reserves in its three-stage nuclear power program as a long-term strategy.
